With this PDF crab plush sewing pattern, you can create a wonderful gift for a child or friend of any size (including life size plush).
The history of the softie sewing pattern:
To create a soft toy pattern, first at all I created a 3D model of this toy.
At the second stage, I designed the details of the stuffed toy sewing patterns directly on the 3D model surface using special software.
In the next step, I positioned the created sewing pattern details on a flat surface.
The last step in creating the crab plushie pattern was the exact fit of the parts to each other down to the millimeter.
